Doctor's Secrets for Preventing Running Injuries

Dear Friend, Why do you run? Because it feels good? Because as a runner you can eat pie? Because it relieves stress and eases depression? Because you love busting all out for a PR in a 5K? I hear so many answers to this simple question. And what I hear that's common to all those answers is that running is important to you — it's important to your best life. I get that, because running is important to my best life, too. But it's pure hell — physically and emotionally — when you're injured and can't run. I get that, too. It's the reason I became a sports doc. I know how traumatic it is to be sidelined from the sport you love. It's also why I wrote Running Strong!

Running Strong allows you to step inside my office anytime, anywhere, through a series of videos I created with Runner's World. Each video addresses anything from common running injuries and how to treat them to your most common questions about running shoes, running form, or even whether or not to take anti-inflammatories before a race. You'll also get my exclusive strength-training plan designed specifically for runners, the IronStrength Workout. Check out some of the great information you'll find in Running Strong.
